LPGA Kia Classic leaderbaord http://www.lpga.com/tournaments/kia-classic/leaderboard
This week the LPGA Tour is in sunny Carlsbad California for the Kia Classic where Brooke Henderson leads a Canadian contingent of five into action later today.
She is joined by Alena Sharp, Anne Catherine Tanguay, Jaclyn Lee and Brittany Marchand. All of them are highlighted at the top of my live scoring link above.
Brooke is off early at 7.44am 10th tee with Minjee Lee and Danielle Kang and here's a look ahead at her featured pairing thanks to lpgatour.com
Minjee Lee has found herself nearly holding up a trophy twice this year, with back to back second place finishes in the Honda LPGA Thailand and HSBC Women’s World Championship. The Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings No. 3 golfer is looking to hold a trophy up this week at the Kia Classic in her fifth appearance in the event. She improved in every round in Carlsbad last year, finishing the weekend with a 69-68 to finish T26.
Brooke Henderson has had a strong opening to the season, finishing in the top 15 in all four events she’s played so far. Henderson finished T10 in her first appearance at Kia in 2016, and has played in the event the last three years. She’s found her groove on Sunday at Aviara Golf Club, averaging 67 in the final round of the tournament.
Danielle Kang makes her first appearance in the stateside part of the schedule, coming off two top 20 finishes in her first two starts of the season. Kang found herself in the mix heading into moving day last year at the Kia Classic, sitting in 7th place at (-6) through two rounds. The Team USA Solheim Cup member has played in the event six times.
Recently engaged Michelle Wie who is a spokesperson for Kia has had to W/D again due to a continuing injury to her wrist.
